The Massacre That Spawned the Alt-Right
Forty years ago, a gang of Klansmen and Nazis murdered five communists in broad daylight. America has never been the same.

Seems to be the common denominator."She decided on a new Jeep"
A fucking 7 year loan on a JEEP?? She's gonna be underwater for at least... well all those 7 years.![]()
Must match plurality, my bro-tato. These phenomena or this phenomenon.This phenomena is astonishing to me.
1. Who is this fucking dumb?
2. What bank is this fucking dumb?
"The friends now split the payment of more than $900 a month, which they owe to Pearl Hawaii Federal Credit Union for 84 months."Seems to be the common denominator.

A $45,000 Loan for a $27,000 Ride: More Borrowers Are Going Underwater on Car Loans
Consumers, salespeople and lenders are treating cars a lot like houses during the last financial crisis: by piling on debt to such a degree that it often exceeds the car’s value. This phenomenon can leave owners trapped.www.wsj.com
This phenomena is astonishing to me.
1. Who is this fucking dumb?
2. What bank is this fucking dumb?
At least when it was housing a home could be viewed as an asset that could gain value.

I'm starting to see a lot of very unconfidently phrased "Trump will save the economy" comments lately from the Trump lovers within my client base. You can start to see the cracks forming.We're just getting started.
Everyone standing around with their dick in their hands waiting for their government to save them.

Ironically, that group is the one that's taken the worst hits because they were super aggressively invested and refused to listen to professionals. They are also the group that is making the flip from investments to cash, again refusing to listen to professionals.
Those people are the moron mirrors of people blaming trump for ruining the economy.I'm starting to see a lot of very unconfidently phrased "Trump will save the economy" comments lately from the Trump lovers within my client base. You can start to see the cracks forming.

Massive debt anyone?Those people are the moron mirrors of people blaming trump for ruining the economy.
At least we were saving a bunch when things were good.Massive debt anyone?
Those people are the uneducated morons blindly following their "team" leaders. And unfortunately, their are a majority of the population that fall under that category on both sides. It's just that one side is more about racism, global destruction, and unwittingly (?) social, medical, and financial inequality.Those people are the moron mirrors of people blaming trump for ruining the economy.
That’s all I was saying.Those people are the uneducated morons blindly following their "team" leaders.
Other places without such rabid government-phobia are doing way better than us in taking care of Joe Sixpack now sitting on his ass inside.And economies world wide facing similar difficulties show
We have a special red hat problem though. We don't need employment right now. We need bills paid. That can be done without sending hair didders and nail salon workers right next to people breathing on them.That’s all I was saying.
I don’t think 22m unemployed is ‘where we should be’ though. And economies world wide facing similar difficulties show it’s not solely a red hat phenomenon, as convenient as that notion may be in an election year.
This. My household is a high spending household (see trickle-downWe have a special red hat problem though. We don't need employment right now. We need bills paid. That can be done without sending hair didders and nail salon workers right next to people breathing on them.
Idiots don't realize that we're about to have an economy tanked on way higher death rates and people scared to go out in about two months. That's way worse than artificially halting and propping up the economy temporarily.
I'm doing it now. I fucking hate it. We pay a service who hires "immigrants", who I assume are illegal and she treats pretty shitty. I wasn't aware of this until I was home one day while they were cleaning. I need to resolve that with a person who doesn't manage to have 5 people to my house for 3 hours for $110. That's less than min wage before profit is taken out.I'm still paying our house cleaning lady, fwiw, even though she's clearly not coming by.
Ask her if she wants to drive to HR.I pay $140 for about 5-6 hours of work x 1 person. And she does a good job, and we are fine with that arrangement.
We're dumping every spare dime into savings. I've even quit paying the extra against principal on the mortgage just to have liquid cash. I figure if we come out the other side none the worse for wear, I'll just drop a hunk of change on it. Might mean an extra month or two in the long run, but whatever. Wife (who actually manages our checkbook) told me yesterday last months spending was half of our usual amount, including the set of tires we had to buy for the Mazda. This trend will continue for the foreseeable future. Who does this hurt? My bike shop. My coffee roaster. The local indy book store. The lesbian coffee shop. A half a dozen breweries, costco liquor. Mira Sol New Mexican food truck. I guess the good news is I should get thinner?But who does this? Not many people, especially when they are at risk of losing their jobs and income.
but porn hub is free?I spent over $600 less in March than in Feb on 'entertainment'
Booze is the only entertainment I have left... well, I guess there's the heckling of the teenagers... but that gets old pretty quickly.That's what he calls beer.
Throw things at them.Booze is the only entertainment I have left... well, I guess there's the heckling of the teenagers... but that gets old pretty quickly.
with all the money we're not spending on various things, i've upped my ESPP by a factor of 7.5This. My household is a high spending household (see trickle-down) - comfortably over $100k on one card last year alone and we're a non-debt household. Our spending has dropped by 35% in the last month and I don't see it getting better even once we are allowed to go out again. I doubt that half of that cut will come back if the economy recovers, which is only going to hurt people downstream. We won't be going to bars or dinner or concerts.
Wifey doesn't want other people that aren't in our immediate friend group in the house and even then, we've all agreed that we need to sit outside with masks on. She's still buying from local businesses for delivery or pick-up, but what happens when they close because other people stop buying from them? We stop too and that money just goes to paying off the house or investing. Right now I've fronted our hair person the whole household's haircuts for the next 4 months, because she needs it and if push comes to shove, I'll do it for the year. But who does this? Not many people, especially when they are at risk of losing their jobs and income.
The money that was just thrown at large companies to not get repaid was done solely to prop the stock market, which is NOT the economy. Economies are driven by sales. People with money can buy things. The amount of money that was thrown at the large companies in large part could be used to keep the country afloat because people spending would keep jobs in place for those on the bottom, support structure of society, while those higher up the chain wouldn't have to worry about jobs collapsing because their companies have no sales or people with money to buy their products when things more normalize.
Yeah - I include hurling things at them to be "heckling"...Throw things at them.
